1 Fils - Hussein Pattern

Pattern coinage issued by the Central Bank of Jordan in 1968 occupies an unusual administrative moment: the country was still absorbing the political and territorial shock of the Six-Day War, fought just the previous year, which had stripped Jordan of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Currency reform planning continued regardless, and proof-of-concept strikes in precious metals were a standard step in the Jordanian mint authorization process for proposed circulation types.

The gold striking against KM#Pn1 was never approved for circulation — the 1 fils denomination ultimately proceeded in base metal. A gold pattern of this weight for the lowest denomination in the series is an extravagance that points toward presentation or archive purposes rather than any genuine production trial.
